Book Themed Baby Shower Brunch

"I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be" - Robert Munsch

So excited to share with you our Book Themed Baby Shower Brunch for Baby Lena in corals, pinks and blues. The mom to be (aka my oldest daughter) is a book lover and so it's the dad to be. We put together 6 book themed tables for the shower with some of the mom to be's favorite books (and 1 movie!) and used the color blue which is her favorite in a girly and cute way to make this lovely occasion all in honor of the mom to be and her joy for welcoming her Baby Lena.

Guestbook Table with a combination of peach, coral, pink and blue shades.

The guests signed a copy of Berenstain Bears's 'New Baby' Book as keepsake for the parents. This table was a welcoming to the celebration and a great chance to add the theme and feel of what the guests will find through the event. It included books and votives for decor and a beautiful Apple Stack Cake with 'Where The Wild Things Are' fondant toppers by NikkiIkkin Sugar Studio . Cakepops by Sweet Whimsy Shop on the colors of the shower were topped with the cutest baby shower cutouts from Pop of Happy.

We borrowed the books we didn't own from our local library, which we happen to love! It's always a great opportunity to find the books we need with a visit to a Knox County Library and then take them back for someone else to enjoy. Love the opportunities, imagination and the places a book can take you and glad we're passing this love on to our sweet Baby Lena.

This next table is inspired on the book 'Sleep Like A Tiger'.

Mom to be adores Tigers, and it's the reason why you might see quite a few through out the styling. Finding this particular book and including it in our tables was amazing! A great read by the way!

These lovely honey pot favors from Kate Aspen are absolutely adorable and so perfect for sweet baby showers. We styled ours with tissue and shredded paper tucked into these cute white boxes from Shop Sweet Lulu.

Madeline is another one of our tables and I loved that KJ Cookies made our cookies with these particular icon page of Madeline's stories going to the zoo, and we had them on the white favor bags from Shop Sweet Lulu.

MJ Tabush made the cutest tiny chocolate cookies topped in fondant with four different book themes that we used as prizes for the games. They are inspired on 'The Giving Tree', 'Where The Wild Things Are', 'Hundred Acre Wood' and 'Harry Potter'.

The Gift Table also had a theme. 'The Giving Tree' was our theme and we kept the colors on a blue and coral scheme rather than the usual green and red. Sisters Vintage Rentals helped made that happen by illustrating the book cover on their beautiful vanity top chalkboard to which we added pops of colors with paper flowers by Paperflora.

For this Vintage Blue Table I wanted a vintage look created first with a lovely vintage tablecover and then a mix of cakestands and vintage pyrex bowls to display a mix of desserts in a lovely way including baby animals, flowers and cute pink and coral colors to accent the girly blue table.
